The Salon Rouge - a place of timeless elegance

The Salon Rouge at the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken is a place of timeless elegance — a stylish retreat where classic British tea culture is harmoniously combined with the majestic backdrop of the Swiss Alps. In its magnificent ambiance, you can experience history as well as upscale hospitality.

A glimpse into the Grand Hotel’s eventful past reveals the original purpose of this special room. The Salon Rouge was originally created as an exclusive retreat for the ladies of the house. It was a meeting place, especially during afternoon tea — a time when business was reserved for gentlemen. Upper-class women commonly received guests in their own salons to exchange ideas and cultivate their cultural space.

To this day, the Salon Rouge has lost none of its charm. With its original furniture and artfully restored décor, the salon provides a stylish setting for classic afternoon tea ceremonies, festive dinners, and exclusive private events. The room’s unmistakable appearance is characterized by the warm red tones that give it its name. This strong, sensual red was a symbol of elegance, luxury, and an inviting atmosphere in historic salons—values that remain central today.

The Salon Rouge is much more than just a room; it is a living piece of hotel history—a place of encounter and stylish contemplation that transports guests to another time and provides a unique experience.
